    Built in 1413 Diebesturm was structurally inserted into the older city wall. Very nice view over Wietzenhausen.

    Can be climbed at certain times. From the top you have a beautiful view of the Werra valley and Witzenhausen.

    The Thieves' Tower is located on Oberburgstrasse in Witzenhausen. It was built in 1413 and incorporated into the much older city wall. In addition to the 4 gate towers, there were 8 more towers along the double ring of walls, of which the Thieves' Tower and the Owl Tower were the strongest; they served as prisoner towers.
